Spent a lot of time yesterday in front of a computer working on a lot of news. I put in a Dean Martin Christmas CD and enjoyed greatly while working. I can see why women loved him so much. He was a good looking guy and could swoon them with his melodies. Men liked him too because he would belly up to the bar with them. He never seemed to take himself very seriously and that was his charm, I guess

Good Luck to LRU and App State in their big games on Saturday ! Good luck to Watauga tonight and Former Cougar Coach Nick Bazzle and his North Lincoln Knights in Round III of the State Football Playoffs

Quote of then Day: “The real problem is what to do with the problem solvers after the problems are solved”…Gay Talese
